    Just now, I formatted my only 32GB HP v250W ( made by PNY) to NTFS using the HP Tool. No problem.

    Without wasting any further time, I shall go ahead testing the Kingston drive with H2testw.

    Download H2testw 1.4 Free - Check your USB for errors with this tool

    (Read the Readme file after unzipping it to a folder of your choice.)

    Please post the screenshot of the result.

    If it turns out to be a genuine 32 GB drive ( at this point of time, I do not rule out that possibility.) then it may be a hardware limitation of Kingston Data Traveler pen drive.

    In that case you have two options,

    1. Get another brand 32GB pen drive with warranty.

    2. Format your Kingston to exFAT with Windows and check whether you can copy and transfer large files. (after cleaning the first sector with LLF tool). Many users who had this problem did that.:)

    I'm getting to the point where it won't allow it to format to NTFS even though its 32GB flash drive .

    You even get an error when you try to convert from FAT32 to NTFS

    Code:
    convert X: /FS:NTFS
       Note
    X is the Drive letter of the flash drive
